What We Are Learning: W/B 22nd September

 

Year 1: What We Are Learning 

This week our literacy focus book has been: Beegu, by Alexis Deacon

 

This week in maths, we have been focusing on counting on from any number and finding 1 more. We practised starting at different numbers (not just 1!) and counting on, which helps us build confidence in number sequences and prepares us for simple addition. We also explored the concept of "1 more" by using number lines, counters and real-life objects. The children enjoyed using their fingers and visual aids to see how numbers grow by one.

The children have also been working hard in Computing this week learning about how to stay safe online. See the separate blog post which gives key information about how you can support your child at home as well! Watch the children in Beech class chant the poem they learnt and see some photos of the posters they made.

In Music this week the children have been learning a new song ‘Hey you!’. The children have been learning about the ‘pulse’ of the music through interactive games, dance and movement.

Well done Year 1 for an amazing week - keep up all your brilliant work!
